SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Note the new ad. of the Eforhardt
Banking Company in this issue.
r'' /
Mr. D. T. Smoak has resigned his
position at Rhoad's store and will
farm this year.
3orn at Bamberg, S. C., January
7th, 191 i, to Dr. and Mrs. Furman
B. McCrackin, a daughter.
Mrs. Jones A. Williams will entertain
this (Wednesday) afternoon in
honor of her sister, Mrs. J. Norman
Walker.
In 1909 our taxes were $62.43,
and in 1910 they amounted to
$97.75. That's something of an increase.
Numbers of horses and mules are
being sold in Bamberg these days.
Every sale stable in town is doing a
magnificent business.
If you want horses and mules,
come to Bamberg. Our dealers here
sell more stock than any town in
this section of the State.
fv The population of Bamberg is
W. growing right along these days.
Pity all these babies didn't arrive
before the last census was taken.
I See the big ad. of H. Karesh, of
Ehrhardt, in this issue. He will
have a big sacrifice clearance sale
from January 14tfc to January 28th.
Mr. C. R. Brabham has had the
work of remodeling his residence
begun. Many improvements will be j
made and the style will be complete- i
- ly changed. . i
An interesting meeting of Bam- ]
berg lodge, Knights of Pythias, was
held Monday evening, at which the 1
rank of Esquire was conferred and
officers for this year installed.
Our patrons should remember j,
that job work is cash. We have to (
pay our help every Saturday night,
and it takes considerable money each ,
week to keep The Herald going.
I Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Utsey, of. i
Branchville, have moved to Bamberg j:
?||': and are occupying one of the Fitting
School cottages. Mr. Utsey has ac- 1
cepted a position with W. D. Rhoad.
J. B. O'Neall Holloway will be engaged
this week and next in lectur- ,
[pfe:-: ing and organizing Farmers Unions
in Bamberg county. He left yester>
day for Bamberg.?Newberry Ob- x
If ffP server*
^ Mr. J. W. Barnes, of the Cope
section, who had his ankle broken
some time ago by a fall from a bugI*
gy, has been carried to Baltimore '
for treatment. Dr. H. F. Hoover, of <
| this city, accompanied him. i
We especially prize the following
[gjp / taken from a recent letter from a
lady friend, in renewing for The
Herald another year: "I noticed '
- that subscription expired last week,
and we have no idea of missing a
^ > copy. Never before have I enjoyed
the paper so much as now.'
We need money to pay our debts,
Sp^V- and we must ask all who are indebted i
Egar to us to settle at once. Our creditors i
Bp-,-, want what we owe them and we can- .
p.-,) . not pay unless those who owe us will
settle their accounts. Don't think (
fc because you only owe a small amount
that it makes any difference. We
have a lot of small accounts, but the
SSff&f ~ aggregate is large.
The district medical society is
(holding its annual meeting in Bamberg
to-day (Wednesday.) A number
of physicians are present from
counties comprising the second district,
and the visiting physicians
were entertained at dinner at the
f Mayflower Inn by the county medical1
society. An interesting program was
carried out, several interesting papers
being read.
The special exercises of the U. D.
C. Chapter which will be held' at the .
home of Mrs. C. J. S. Brooker on
next Thursday afternoon, the 19th,
will begin promptly at 2 o'clock. All
of the old soldiers of the county will
be the guests of the occasion. All
members who have not received their
certificates of membership, are asked
to bring 15 cents and so secure
the certificates.
Praise for the Herald.
Sumter, S. C., Jan. 6, 1911.
Editor The Bamberg Herald:?A
friend of mine allowed me the privilege
of perusing several copies of
The Bamberg Herald, and I cannot
refrain from expressing my admiration
of your journal, which is ably
------ t.. otir,
115 CUllUI idi5 die 2>CI UJ-13 aiiu
forcible, its corps of correspondents
seem to cover the county, and th#eir
letters are newsy; its local section
is particularly full.
Take it all in all, your paper is an
honor to the county of Bamberg, and 1
you have my congratulations on the
efforts you hate and are making for
the moral and material advancement
of your county, State, and the nation.

At Trinity Sunday-school.
The session of Trinity Methodist
Sunday-school last Sunday was a
most delightful one. The classes
which are known as companies in the
military organization of the school
were all provided with new standards.
Several new names were ad
dec! to the enrollment of the scftoi.
The attendance for the afternoon was
two hundred and fifteen. Several
new plans are now being worked out,
and the school will doubtless show
a marked increase in every way at
the end of the year; Among the
most pressing matters to be worked
out is that of a teacher training
circle. The piano fund will be given
an impetus at an early date the beginners'
department is to be fitted
out with chairs suitable for the little
ones of the school. In this one class
of children there were nineteen present
last Sunday; it is likely that a
change will have to be made in this
department if the attendance increases
much more; the plan would
be to have two grades in the department
instead of one as at present.
In the primary classes last Sunday
there was a full attendance, the first
class showing an attendance of 18.
There were eighty-two in the Bible
r?insR* fourteen teachers; three offi
cers. One class of intermediate boys 1
had fourteen present, and one class <
of girls in the samei department had
about twelve. The juniors also showed
up well.
Home Mission Meeting.
The Home Mission Society will ]
meet next Tuesday afternoon, at 4
o'clock in the ladies' parlor of the .
Methodist church. j
The January Bulletin has this sug- ;
gestive head-line?"Watchman, what (
of the times?" and states that never
since the organization of the Woman's
Home Mission society has
there been such need for diligence,
earnestness and intelligent work on
the part of our women. Money and
workers are needed, and new members
to increase our rolls, and thus
enlarge the life* of the womanhood
of the church. This is the first meeting
of our auxiliary for the new
pear 1911?can not every woman
whose name is on the roll be present
at this meeting. If your friend and
neighbor sometimes forgets, remind
her of the day and hour, and insist {
upon her going with you. How it (
would gladden the heart of the presi- (
dent to meet even half our number ^
there Tuesday afternoon 1 Encourage ^
her by your presence Tuesday, at 4 .

Death of Sims Hunter. ^
Mr. G. Sims Hunter died Tuesday J
morning about four o'clock at the J
residence of his father, Sheriff J. B.
g
Hunter, in this city, after an illness
of only a few hours, an attack of
acute indigestion causing his death.
He retired about ten o'clock in his
usual good health and shortly afterwards
was seized with a violent fit
of vomiting which continued with *
short intermissions till death occurr"'1

Taken to the Hospital.
Mr. J! W. Barnes, of Cope, who 1
was severely injured about three
months ago by an accident to the ]
buggy in wThich he was riding, and \
who has suffered a great deal since ,
from a broken leg and sprained j
ankle, has been taken to a hospital
in Columbia and put in care of a
specialist for treatment. Since he '
was hurt Mr. Barnes has not been
able to use the injured leg, but we J
hope his treatment in Columbia will
restore it to complete health and that .
he will suffer no further inconveni- J
ence from it.?Orangeburg Times

Marriage at Denmark. 1
Married, on January 1st, 1911, Mr.

Returns to Bamberg.
Mr. J. Felder Hunter, who resigned
his position with Mr. Geo. V. Zeigler
on January 1, will return to Bamberg,
where he has bought an interest
in a hardware business conducted
by his brother. During his residence
in Orangeburg Mr. Hunter has
made hosts of friends over here,
whose best wishes will go with him
in returning to his old home.?Orangeburg

Woman's Missionary Society.
The Woman's Missionary Society
of the Bamberg Baptist church observed
the first week of January as
a "week of prayer." Though the
weather was rather inclement, the
attendance was good. We feel that
in addition to the spiritual uplift,
that our knowledge of the work being
done by our missionaries, both
at home and abroad, has been much
increased.
Quite a number of interesting
tracts were read, subjects of vital
importance discussed, and some good
original papers were read by members
of the "W. M. U."
Upon the whole, we feel that it
was good to meet thus, in the name
of Him who has said: "Go and disciple
all nations."

"WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE"
City Council Has Shade Trees on
Main Street Cut Down.
j The old poem, "Woodman, Spare
I That Tree," was the sentiment of sevI
eral Bamberg citizens yesterday
j morning, for Tuesday night city
i council had a gang of laborers busi!
iv at work on our main business!
, ? -
street cutting down the shade trees.
, Many of these trees had been burni
ed in fires and were unsightly, and
, council decid d that it was time to
I /
> do away with them all. The cutting
of the trees fcame as a surprise, for
I it was not generally known that such
! a step was contemplated. All the
j trees that were not cut down were
j deadened, and will be cut down as
rapidly a^ possible.
Yesterday morning those who fa!
vored shade trees on the street were
somewhat out of humor and groups
of people gathered on the street and
discussed the cutting. Many of our
people favored the step, and the little
excitement soon quieted down, although
some who favored shade
trees considered that council had
taken advantage of them in having
the work doae without notice and at
night. One reason it was done at.
night was that traffic might not be
interfered with, and we suppose also
-* - ?Hnwevpr it. is
IU yicvcui lu^uuu. -all
over now, and those of our citizens
who were not pleased are not
kicking, as they realize that no good
will come of it, as the trees are cut.
Council has taken a step in the
right direction, as the trees as a rule
were unsightly and gave very little
shade. True some good shade trees
were destroyed, but as one had to
go, all had to go, so on the whole
we feel sure that council acted wisely
and we believe that all will recog
nize it in a few montns. .now ieti
council continue the work of clearing
the street. Remove^ the telephone
and electric light poles, en-1
force the ordinances against sweeping
trash on the street and displaying
goods on the sidewalks, forbid
hitching posts on the street, and let's
make our business street as attractive
as possible. Let the merchants
fix up their store fronts wherever
possible by repainting and improving,
and the town will be more attractive
to visitors and strangers.

MATILDA WEEMS AFIRE.
Prompt Work Prevented Great Damage
to Steamer.
Georgetown, Jan. 7.?The steamship
Matilda Weems, Capt. Hudgens,
while lying at the docks of the Atlantic
Coast Lumber Corporation last
night, taking on a shipment of lumber,
was discovered to be on fire in
her hold, where about 150 bales of
cotton were stored. The alarm was
sent in about 8:30 o'clock and the
fire department of the big mills, as
well as that of the city, responded
with great promptness. The value
of the powerful fire boat, which is
maintained in a fine state of efficiency,
of the Atlantic Coast Lumber
Corporation, was in this instance
fully appreciated, and it was due to
the work of this fire-fighter largely
that the Weems was saved from destruction.
By almost superhuman
efforts the cotton was brought out;
and the flames extinguished by a
perfect deluge of water. The firej
system of the steamship itself did
good work.
The damage to the cotton will
probably run up to several thousand
dollars. The steamship suffered little
damage. The fire was not entirely
subdued and effectually extinguished
until about 2 o'clock in the
morning.
While cutting a hole in the ship's
deck one of the firemen had the misfortune
to nearly sever one of his
feet with an axe. The cause of the
fire could not be discovered. It is
probable that it has been smouldering
in the cotton for a day or so,
since it was loaded in Charleston previous
to the arrival of the Weems
in this port.
One Man Indicted.
Spartanburg Jan. 7.?The Spar-!
tanburg grand, jury to-day returned
a true bill against A. J. Bates, charging
him with operating a gambling
room at the Argyle hotel.
No bills were returned against W.
H. Hester, proprietor of the hotel, or
W. H. Bullington, whose names were
before the grand jury in this connection.
This is the case growing out of the
raid at tne Argyie last wees.
